白灣兒童#

Despite the low family income and the one-child policy, a lot of families still raised 3 or more children. In the past, a lot of children could not afford the school fees and missed school. Since September 2001, the Government of Guangdong Province has granted subsidies for school fees to the poorest families and solved the attendance problem up to Year 9. This applies to children who have birth certificates and register with the government. Unregistered children have to seek sponsorship to go to school. In recent years, all children have enjoyed free education up to and including Secondary Three. More and more children attend high school in Qingyuan, but some students are discouraged by their parents to continue education due to financial issues.

In March 2008, an Island School parent donated 2000 pairs of shoes to Baiwan children. The sole of the shoes are specially thickened to better cater for the need of their long walk to school. In November 2010, new shoes are donated to all primary students in Baiwan. They also received school bags and stationery sets.
